During this 2-hour interactive class, you'll learn to make creative, lower sugar, pectin-free jams that taste like FRUIT using a streamlined method that fits into your life. Transforming fruit into jam and putting it in your cupboard to enjoy another day is truly one of life's singular delights.
And in the height of summer, when trees and shrubs are just bursting with fresh fruit, it is the perfect time to hone these skills! You'll learn how to choose your fruit, how to get a good set even with low-pectin fruits, and how to substitute sugar with alternative sweeteners. You'll also learn how to judge the setting point using your senses, what pot to cook your jam in, and how to break down jam-making into manageable steps so you can fit it into even the busiest schedule. We'll teach you how to eliminate extra steps from the traditional canning process and how to avoid rude interlopers such as mold. By the end of this class, you'll be able to concoct a delicious jam from any amount of fruit, using only a minimal amount of math and limited only by your imagination. And the fun doesn't stop there! We will be incorporating our jam into a delicious baked good from Jam Bake and giving an extra bonus recipe to make in your home kitchen.
Here's our menu for the afternoon:
Tutti Frutti Jam The ultimate ode to summer with stone fruits, late-summer berries, candied orange peel, lemon, sugar, and vanilla bean.
Meringue Roll with Eau-de-Vie Cream and Tutti Frutti Jam
Bonus Take-Home Recipe: Classic English Bakewell Tarts with Tutti Frutti Jam & Frangipane
This class will be limited to 15 registrants, first-come, first-served.
